It will pyrolyze, depositing varnish and char, and generating
particulates that clog conduits and form soot in combustion chambers.

Wow. I can has engineering?

Are ya gonna heat the gas tank, too?

A four-stroke auto engine has a compression ratio of about 8:1. Maybe
you should look up carburators and fuel injectors plus the engineering
of an efficient, nonpolluting engine and learn something about how it
all works.

You want the charge - air and fuel - to go in as cold as possible.
Look up why or learn some thermodynamics.
